My Songs in Me...I want To sing
My Songs in Me
My songs in me,
I want to sing,
Echoes of my hart
Should soundly ring.
I want to sing.
Hear once again
What I would sing
To reach a mother's terrain.
I want to sing
For the lost, meek.
I want to sing
For the feeble, weak.
I want to give
To those that rise fast,
I want to be
A kind soul to the last.
I want to hear
That I can sing
Till dusk enters
And breaks sad strings.
Another day
Waiting to sing.
When I can't sing
Carry me away
In your arms... sane.
Pray for echoing songs
That will remain.

Beautiful! ! Music has a healing quality! Never stop singing!

Thanks Salley for your comments
You understood me
May be because
You're reaching my age
You reached inside my soul
To write your soulful phrases
That made me proud to share your site
Without sighting your face...!

I love your song here, and particularly the fact that you want to sing for those who, perhaps, can't sing for themselves. Felt the melody and inspiration. Beautiful. 10
